After formatting the string, the Buffer argument holds the new string. You can then use it

as you see fit. For example, you can pass it to another function such as displaying it on a

view as follows:

void CExerciseView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

CExerciseDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();

ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

char FirstName[] = "Ferdinand";

char LastName[] = "Coly";

char FullName[40];

sprintf(FullName, "Full Name: %s %s", FirstName, LastName);

int Len = strlen(FullName);

pDC->TextOut(20, 20, FullName, Len);

}

9.2 Operations of Strings...................................................................................

9.2.1 String Copy...........................................................................................

Copying a string is equivalent to assigning all of its characters to another string. After

copying, both strings would have the same value. To copy a null-terminated string, you

can use the strcpy() function. Its syntax is:

char *strcpy(char *strDestination, const char *strSource);

The strDestination argument is the target string. The strSource argument holds the value

of the string that needs to be copied. During execution, the strSource value would be

assigned to the strDestination variable. After execution, this function returns another

string that has the same value as strDestination.

Here is an example:

void CExerciseView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

CExerciseDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();

ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

char Artist[] = _T("Arsene Wendt");

char Producer[40];
